Acetylcholine "conductors" in the striatum directly trigger serotonin release, offering new insights into the origins of OCD and chemical imbalances.

When you get better at a skill-recognizing a familiar face in a crowd, spotting a typo at a glance, or anticipating the next move in a game-sensory neurons in your brain become more coordinated, ...

A thin, wireless brain implant with 65,000+ sensors maps vision, touch, and movement from the brain’s surface, promising gentler, high‑resolution neural interfaces.

Your brain doesn t just send messages through one universal route it uses separate pathways for spontaneous activity and signals linked to learning. These findings overturn a major neuroscience ...

Motor imagery (MI) is the mental process of imagining a specific limb movement, such as raising a hand or walking, without physically performing it. These imagined movements generate distinct patterns ...

Researchers at UC San Francisco have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling individuals with paralysis to control robotic devices through thought ...
